    Nice setup. Don’t google klick wrench unless you’ve got a few bucks burning a hole in your wallet.

    Ok. That’s genius. I might have to order one of those.

    I have issues with bed bounce in some instances on my 2021. Is the sway bar a fix for that? Thanks

    I have had my 2021 Limited DC Nightshade 10 months and just went over 25,000. I storm chase in the spring all over so I fear I will at least double that in the next year.

    Yep, my battery crapped out at exactly two years too. Went ahead and got the free replacement from Toyota. Your upgrade is probably a better idea, though..

    I hear bed bounce is worse on the DC vs crew. RSW is a huge improvement in cornering so you don't feel like you are rolling out of the seat. I am not sure if it would help with bed bounce. Do believe firmer shocks help with that. If you have the black shocks, those are pretty soft and may be related. These may help

    Not throwing shade on the idea at all - - I'm a tool hoarder, and not at all in recovery...

    Would it not be better to spend the extra $10 and have a torque wrench with the same or better quality, that you could use for other applications as well?
    Kobalt 1/4-in Drive Click Torque Wrench in the Torque Wrenches department at Lowes.com
    Or you could go USA made and buy-once-cry-once:
    3/8-Inch Torque Wrench Square Drive 14-Inch Length - 57000 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857
    ...and you'd still need to spend $25 on the filter wrench, if you don't already have one:
    Amazon.com: Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench for Toyota Camry, Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, RAV4 and More - 64mm 14 Flute Precision CNC Machined Aluminum Oil Filter Removal Tool : Automotive

    Filter housing torque: 25Nm (18.5 lb ft) - the application for which KlickWrench will work
    Filter plug torque: 12.5Nm (9.2 lb ft) - KlickWrench will not work for this, and you'll be doing it at the same time

    However; admittedly, you'll still need another torque wrench for the drain plug: Drain plug torque: 40.67Nm (30 lb ft); but then you'll have that for when you re-torque your RSB, change diff fluid, or some other fun project.
    Kobalt 3/8-in Drive Click Torque Wrench (20-ft lb to 100-ft lb) in the Torque Wrenches department at Lowes.com
    Or, you know...
    1/2-Inch Torque Wrench Ratchet Square Drive - 57010 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857

    ...and now that I've suggested you spend more than 10x the cost of KlickWrench, you see how serious my problem is.:)

    Lots.
    Nice… I hadn’t seen those before. I think I’ll be ok with the Motivx for now as it worked extremely well and not to worried about over tightening with the aluminum oil filter cap. Used my Craftsman torque wrench on both the Motivx and oil drain plug no problem.

    i wrapped it with matte black, but I did it with some eBay brand vinyl I had from before, looked good when I first did it but now the corners are starting to shrink/rip. Ordered some 3m vinyl

    used double sided Gorilla tape and just taped the complete holder on cause I might cut the metal holder much smaller to hide behind the camera once temperatures are less annoying.

    In the process of finishing up installing my Molle front panel from Victory 4x4.

    I have a bed rug in the truck, so having to perform minor surgery on the rug to make it fit. But so far so good and can’t even tell I had to cut the rug a bit!

    Did you have to use longer screws to put the rail system back on or did you cut around it?

    Nope, I used the factory bolts. Just folded the top of bed rug down so it fit flush up against bed rail as shown in the picture. I made a small cut at each end of the rail so the rug would sit back flat again. (Shown in the last picture from my post above). I used the Velcro that was originally in place at the top of the rug as additional support with it folded over. Had to use some 3M Adhesive spray for those.
    Here are comparison pictures showing across the bed working my way over.

    Had the HIREV tails sitting in the box for a while finally had the time to put them on. Got them because I wanted a sequential turn signal to match the morimotos.
